"Real Housewives of Atlanta" thread

Okay, so the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" (RHOA) on Bravo is my FAVORITE TV show!!

I can't find any other ongoing threads on JUB about RHOA, so I thought I would create a new thread.

My favorite women on the show are NeNe Leakes and Phaedra Parks.

If you all have been following the show, all of the girls (except Kim Zolciak, who just had a baby boy) are going to South Africa for a 10 day vacation.

The new "unofficial" housewife on the show is Marlo Hampton, who has been bringing the DRAMA to the show. Apparently she was dating NFL player Charles Grant, but she is known for sleeping with wealthy men. Marlo Hampton has been arrested 7 times, yes, 7 times, for crimes including stabbing another woman at a club.

So, in the next week's episode, the women will be in South Africa.

Marlo gets upset that Sheree Whitfield didn't invite her to a party. So Marlo tries to diss Sheree by saying this --

That’s why you don’t have a man. Go back and hang with those f*ggots with yo' ugly ass...

Re: "Real Housewives of Atlanta" thread

I use to watch this when we had bravo on directT but has since switched back to cable. Can the episodes be viewed online anywhere (the entire episodes). I don't understand why bravo doesn't have the episodes on their site. I also miss Top Chef

I know. I don't get Bravo on my TV, but I watch all the episodes online..

Bravo puts some of the episodes online (on their website), but not all of them.

If you search YouTube there is a user who has been regularly uploading all of the episodes from the current season 4 of "Real Housewives of Atlanta". Just type "Real Housewives of Atlanta" in YouTube....

If all else fails, you can pay $2 per episode to watch the episodes from Amazon.com (it streams directly from Amazon.com).

Re: "Real Housewives of Atlanta" thread

JayQueer...I LOVE The Real Housewives of Atlanta! I'm glad you started this thread.

I have watched the earlier seasons off and on, but just recently went back and watched every last minute. Good stuff! Simple entertainment and a fun watch every time.

I would have to say my favorite "housewife" is Kandi. Her personality comes closest to mine--plus she's generally low-key and low drama. Phaedra is a close second.

I love Kandi too. My favorites are NeNe, Phaedra, and Kandi. I'm in the middle about Kim.

I'm also in the middle about Sheree. There are times when I'm totally "Team Sheree," and other times, I'm like "Are you kidding me?"

The episodes where Sheree was going to court for child support and trashing her ex-husband Bob Whitfield was TOTAL BS. "Straight from the A" blog and Tamara Tattles (she runs a blog) showed the court documents. Apparently in the divorce settlement, there was a mutual agreement that Sheree would sell their former house, and split the profit from the sale. Bob was then supposed to supposed to give Sheree another $400,000 after the house was sold. Instead, Sheree asked for the $400,000 upfront so she could find a new place for her & the kids to live. Bob gave her the money...........BUT Sheree never sold the house! Because Sheree refused to sell the house, Bob stopped making payments and the house went into foreclosure. They ended up losing all of their equity on the home.

So, basically the reason why Bob Whitfield hasn't been paying child support to Sheree is because if she sues him for the child support, he would counter-sue her for making him lose all of the profits from the house. They would break even, or Sheree might even owe Bob some money in the end...

Oh, and "Chateau Sheree" that house Sheree is supposed to be building?? That's also not true. That lot in Sandy Springs, GA, belongs to Sheree's mother, and they were saying on the blogs a while back that a different builder (not the guy they showed on TV) is building a generic new house that Sheree's mother plans to sell...

I'm also not a fan of Cynthia. She is so ANNOYING!!! Everyone is totally right, she basically clings to NeNe and does whatever NeNe tells her too. And then even her husband Peter walks all over her too. When something doesn't go her way, she starts acting like the sky is falling on her and then Peter or her sister have to bail her out. Girl, get some backbone and stop whining....

Do y'all think that Phaedra might not be completely accepting of homosexuality?

Phaedra is the most religious, outspoken Christian out of all the women on the show. Her mom is a pastor of a local church.

I remember a while ago, Phaedra and her mom appeared on Andy Cohen's "Watch what happens live," and a viewer asked Phaedra how she would respond if her son told her that he was a homosexual.

Phaedra didn't give an answer right away. She hemmed and hawed, and finally she said that she would want whatever would make her son happy...

I wonder if she gave that answer because it was the "politically correct" answer to say, but if she really felt otherwise?

I do know that NeNe, Kim, and Kandi are completely comfortable around gay men. NeNe has appeared at OutWrite gay bookstore in Atlanta before, Kim posed for the No H8 campaign, and Kim and Kandi have made several appearances at gay bars and at the White Party in Palm Springs.

Sweety practically lives with her.. i started watching AHW LATE so I don't know what these women did for a living because it's obvious they're not working anywhere now...They live for the Salons, Parties and Food & Drinks...

Wendy Williams reported last year that Kroy was making $500,000 a year...With that Beefy-White Booty on him the NFL should have thrown in an extra $500-K cause I'll watch Football just to check out his Ass...

Damn that Dude can wear a pair of Black Dress-pants....When he was dancing in that contest his Fat-Butt-Cheeks in those black pants cast a Spell on everybody in that Damn Dance-Hall...

I bet when he left the House that night he decided to put on those tight pants because he knew he'd win & get laid...

I have to disagree with you right here...I think NeNe is cute/attractive in her own way..She's a Tall woman and she really carries-off the "look" she creates for herself...When you feel good about yourself on the inside it will show on the outside. NeNe's got serious anger issues but her strength & confidence still shines through...

NeNe told Rose O'Donell last week that she was the First AHW signed on when BRAVO went scouting in the ATL...The Producers asked her to drop some High-Profile ATL wives names in the Pot. She pointed them to Sherrey, Kim and some other Chick that was on during the 1st season.....NeNe said most viewers dont know that...

The only woman who had a career before RHOA was Phaedra (she's an attorney). Well I guess Cynthia was a runway model in NYC, so maybe her too. The others -- I don't know what they did before......

Oh, and that new mansion that Kim says she "bought?" She's renting that house from the woman on the show who was her interior decorator. Yes, her interior decorator is her landlord. On the show, she talks down to that woman, basically ordering her around. When that lady owned the mansion Kim is renting!!

Kim used to date a man (he was never on camera) called "Big Poppa" who was her sugar daddy. He bought her an Escalade, and all kinds of things. She claimed that he was going through a divorce, but she probably knew she would just be his mistress. She briefly dated a lesbian DJ before dating Kroy....

Yes. There was a woman in the first season named DeShawn Snow who was married to an NBA player I think. They had a REALLY BIG mansion that they did own. She was really nice and sweet and polite, but she never really brought any drama to the show. They didn't invite her back for the 2nd season. I think she has gotten divorced from her husband since then.

Re: "Real Housewives of Atlanta" thread

does anyone really own their home on this show? Kandi, Phaedra, and Cynthia...perhaps?

NeNe does not. She has been renting houses in places like Sugarloaf in Duluth and John's Creek.

I think Kandi and Phaedra own their own houses. Kandi's house is a ranch-style house and Phaedra's house is a typical tract house or "McMansion" you might find in suburbs like Roswell and Marietta...

I don't know if Cynthia owns her place but she lives in Atlanta proper. I think she lives in the Virginia Highland area, very close to Midtown Atlanta (which is where all the gay bars & nightlife in ATL are).

Phaedra said that Cynthia's neighorhood was undergoing "gentrification", which in Phaedra's words means "when they try to turn the 'hood into the suburbs."

All of Housewives are receiving salaries of well of over $150,000 to $200,000 per season. Of course, A-list celebrities are paid much more, but for normal folks, that isn't anything to sneeze at.

If somebody gon' write me a check for $150,000, I ain't gon' be sayin' no...

I know...Kandi is sooo awesome and talented. She can work with so many types of music. Her specialty is probably R&B and pop, but she can also do country too. She helped Lawrence with his "Closet Freak" song, and she even made Kim sound decent with her "Tardy for the Party" single..

You don't find her personality atrocious? The way she picks on Kim? Kim can't sing, but why do you feel you need to remind the world of the obvious?

She has low self-esteem to continuously pick on people she thinks are weak. She'll never really go at Phaedra. Phaedra is a lawyer and she'll put her on her ass.

Re: "Real Housewives of Atlanta" thread

I've been watching RHOA since 2010....All of the Ladies pick on each other, talk about other people and so on. Nene is "cool" when she hasnt lost her temper and her "mind".....If Nene was stuck on "nasty" in every episode then I'd agree with you about her personality.

LostLover I don't know your race but the average Black person will tell you they have a"Nene" in their family or they know a "Nene"....The way Nene carries on when she gets upset is something that we're use to seeing...She'll act right for a minute then doing her thing the next...

Nene "bullies" Kim because she knows she can...Nene wouldnt pull those "choking" stunts on any of the Black women she knows...

It's hard for me to judge what is real and what is scripted for the show. Nene has known Kim for a long time..All of a sudden Nene decides to put her hands on Kim now that they're on TV?

So we have to remember a lot of what we're seeing is scripted to "sell' an episode...

for example: when she felt the need to tell Sheree how "rich" she is. riiiiight.

I still love her though. But she has been clowning in season 4 to the max.

If Nene is so rich, whe is she living in a cookie-cutter home? Why is she negotiating down the price of her son's used car?

I heard an interview with the women of the RHOA on satellite radio. The most hated woman through reactions and questions from viewers calling in was Phaedra. They were calling calling her cocky and arrogant. In Phaedra's defense, she's a self-made, educated woman. You can't say that for any of them, minus, maybe Kandi. Not one call in to complain about Nene.

*twilight zone*

Please......."cookie-cutter"? NeNe's house looks like a house that a typical upper-middle class American family might live in. Ok so its not a mansion in Buckhead, but it's not too shabby either..

NeNe negotiated down the price of her son's used car because it was the smart thing to do. Savvy car buyers (even the wealthy ones) always negotiate to get the lowest possible price the dealer will sell the car for..........

That's kind of rude. Especially if you're talking about somebody's kids. One of their sons is 12 or 13.

I'll tell you which people I think are handsome or attractive, but I won't tell you who I think are ugly. That's just immature. People have feelings. How would you feel if people said you were ugly? Probably not too good, right?

Bullshit. Do you know wealthy people? I do. And they'd never "lower" themselves to negotiating a price for an automobile, especially an everyday car.

I'm no more rude than Nene. At least I have a good reason not to like her whereas she doesn't have a good reason to not to like the other women.

Could have fooled me. They both look at least 18. The bum son of hers is hideous. He takes after her, looks wise. And if he's a bum, why buy him a car? HELLO! I guess Nene's parenting is as good as her personality.

Watching that "fight" with her and Sheree was embarrassing. I can't believe I was watching two grown ass women arguing about such silliness...and in such a manner. What was that babble-talk they were doing at the end of it? *awkward* lol

...and Cynthia lost points with me last night for being a little shit stirrer.

Then again...this is "reality" television, so I have to cut the women some slack because everyone most likely played it up for television.

btw...I'm glad they showed Kim for a little bit. Poor thing...she almost seems so alien and 'normal' compared to the Kim we all knew before Kroy. I hope this isn't her last season.

Cynthia is a dumb ass too. First for marrying Peter. And then being a shit stirrer that is beholden to the biggest shit stirrer on the show, Nene.

If I was the director, that would have been Marlo's last episode pulling that little stunt on a trip where she wasn't even invited.

Boy. These women aren't even the type of people that you would love to hate. I just hate them.

BTW, what kind of loser (read: Marlo) reminds someone that you didn't get her a gift especially when she weren't supposed to be there? Phaedra should have reminded her then and there that she wasn't invited, but she had to play nice with the criminal.

Yeah, I was surprised too.

Especially because Marlo has TONS of gay men friends. I mean, she's living in ATL, which is the Black gay capital of the U.S. She even hosted a gay-themed party over MLK weekend with hairstylist Derek J!

Re: "Real Housewives of Atlanta" thread

...LOL....Of course her ignorant Ass released an apology..The Shit just aired and she probably didnt know the editors would leave it in...If she viewed the show BEFORE it aired on BRAVO she should have rushed to her BLOG before it went down to try and save-face....Don't the women get to View the entire season after they're done taping?

She waited until her ATL friends called her on it....She should have known everybody she hangs with watches the show...LOL...

Too little too late....

Side note....Rosie O'Donell did ask NeNe how many years is she under contract. NeNe answered the question by saying her contract is BIG and then danced around Rosie asking if she'd get her own spin-off-show....

This is what I believe is happening during the BRAVO Pow-Wow meetings...BRAVO is paying Nene High 6-figures or 7-figures(highest paid Housewife) and they have told her she's staying put. Nene doesnt want to be around ANY of the women on RHOA. If BRAVO gives her a spin-off she'd use that show to stay away from the other women...BRAVO doesnt want to take that chance with Nene...

I could be wrong but The Powers that Be @ BRAVO want to keep that crew of women together for Sunday night ratings-sake. Even if the animosity is REAL BRAVO will keep paying them an Ass-of-Cash just so the women HAVE to bite their tongues and mingle on camera...

Re: "Real Housewives of Atlanta" thread

I'm convinced that this show is scripted. That "80 year old white man" that Marlo is dating is none other than Ted Turner, founder of CNN. People don't refer to someone they know as an "80 year old white man" especially when they know that man's name. Producers don't want to get sued by having their participants wrongly or rightfully name names. So "the billionaire," "80 year old white man" has to remain without a name when it's clear they know who this person is.

Re: "Real Housewives of Atlanta" thread

To me it feels like Bravo was about to kick Sheree out. But Sheree offered to voluntarily leave, to save face......

Sheree did bring the drama, but she was probably least wealthiest of the ATL housewives. Last we saw on the show, she was living in a small condo and she was fighting Bob Whitfield for child support. And her "Chateau Sheree" mansion she was bragging about, never got built....

OTOH, the other ATL housewives used their appearance on the show to highlight their professional work, or use it as a "launching pad" to get into other business endeavors...

Like:

NeNe Leakes -- Appeared on "Celebrity Apprentice" and "Glee". Also was shown getting into business ventures with her Italian-American quasi-boyfriend.

Phaedra Parks -- Showed off her legal skills as an attorney on the show and started getting involved in a funeral business

Cynthia Bailey -- Started the "Bailey Agency of Fashion" while on the show
